son, Shanghai, China" There Is quite romance
connected with Mrs. Ma1tland'S life. Some twenty
years back Mrs Maitland lived with her parents
on North Third street. She was romantic school
girl OF some fifteen summers, and was then known
as Antoinette SoneS. In some incOnceivable way
the girl formed an attachment for young man
living out OF town. The SOmes people were OF the
stern Quaker blood, and, hearing Of their daugh-
ters clandeStine meetings with The young man
from out OF town, Antonette was forbidden 10
keep further company with her lover. But where
Is the young school girl that at the age of
guiieless fifteen? The parents meant WE'LL but
their daughter looked at the opposition as merct-
less persecution. The girl accordingly made ar
rangements With her lover TO leave the city. An
elopenent was the result, and Antoinette was re-
nounced by her watchful sire.
Everything went well with the young and ro-
mantle couple. They were married and settled in
California After few years OF married bliss
Antoinette lost her husband. Some friends were
going to China, and they persuaded the young
woman to accompany them. SO in far-on China

was courted and f1attered by the gay colony OF
Americans at Shanghai. and reigned belle for

slowly gaining strength she formed the acQuain-
lance OF a wealthy Scotch merchant named l.
Maitland, the eldest son OF Sir John Maitland, a
scotch baron, who possesses many acres in The
land OF Caledonia. MIR. Maitland fell in love with
the Troy girl, and, to make a long story short,
married her. This is our Troy girls romance.
Mrs. Maitland was advised some months since to

poor health OF her son

the center will be about feet and half from the

Never select furniture whose "means Of support"
